Is changing this the same as enabling "remote start" from BCMii module?

yes

Do you know if it’s supposed to be the same for S-Max? I tried that option but it didn’t work :/

Thanks again for all your help.

Next step was to add it to my 2019 SMax

I tried all the suggested programming methods but was totally unsucessful.
I tried the steps written, even tried holding the start/stop button at the Last step instead of just push&release.

Hmmmm…come to think of it, the idea is to push and realease the start/stop bitton at each step right, not to hold it down for 5 seconds?
I learned that there might be an issue if the key is 80bit instead of 40bit or something like that …

Well now I think its my turn to give my feedback and experience from all of this and maybe add it to the main post.

I have a 2019 Smax 2.0 ecoblue 190cv Auto 8speed gearbox and this are all the "issues" Ive encountered and how did I ended up fixing them:

-Cant add any of the 2 keys Ive bought to be admin , my car has this functiom disabled , had to go to ford and 25€ after had the keys added.

-When I tried to do a remote start nothing happenned . One of the conditions for remote start to work is to have the battery with enough charge , so please make sure you charge your batteries with a charger that supports our AGM batteries otherwise it wont charge properly. also DO NOT plug the (-) polarity directly to the battery as it will mess with the BMS ( battery monitor system) that again can mess with remote start.... ( it did in my case ). also when fully charged its recommended to reset BMS module or leave the car closed without use during 8 hours so it will allow all system to work again.

- To start the car with remote start normally once car is closed you have to press 2 times the button, of course in my case this would not work, even if its already closed I have to press lock button and then 2 times the start button , then it will start

Regards to all of you guys

again fordsmax471 and also the polish guys fron youtube THANKS

Edit: in case it makes a difference… it’s showing 4 admin keys but I have three. Two three button and one 4 button.
